Growth mind set needs to be practised within an environment, a context that supports actual growth and development. So many of us have spent the past 18 months as almost like brains in front of screans,. We've been cut off from many of the mental extensins that would have helped us with our thinking. And i think the idea that context is so important to our thinking is really, you know, it's its moment, i hope.
Annie Murphy Paul is an acclaimed science writer. Her work has appeared in the New York Times, the Boston Globe, Scientific American, Slate, Time magazine, The Best American Science Writing, and other publications.
Our conversation focuses on the subject of her latest book, The Extended Mind, which is about how human cognition relies on our bodies, other people, and the material world. I loved this book and was thrilled to ask Annie about how this line of thinking plays out in the context of our heavily digitized lives.
